RTH! Putting gas in the tank! (1 Viewer)

No way man. Weld a cage to the exhaust and put a pork butt in there. 18 hours later you will be in culinary heaven

But I want it to quit smoking!

If I want mine to quit smoking I just turn the key to the off position. This little trick makes it cleaner than a bloody Prius.

I think a gallon of O'Henry's Wet n Dry roof patch in the radiator, or crankcase, will pretty much guarantee that you won't see anymore smoke. Less than $20 at your favorite hardware supply!

Should I get an aux tank so I can still keep the weight down but carry more gas?

WTF?

I was thinking cold turkey or nicorette.

This is my favorite thread ever.

Also, mine started smoking...should I just put cold turkey directly into the radiator to make it stop?

Did you not watch the most recent episode of Archer? You're supposed to put an egg in and it'll cook on its way to the leak and plug the leak. It's the classic Spanish Omelette fix!

If you are serious maybe you should take the bus and sell your truck

Don't tell me what to do.

LOL Cold turkey will reduce the weight of your cruiser by a pack of ciggies so that should me good for at least 0.7mpg but it will cause you to gain weight by overeating. Keep on smoking gets my vote. Just put an orange racing stripe down the side and it will solve all your problems.

A half tank weighs less than a full tank, so if you have two tanks half full, that's less weight than two full tanks. It's simple physics, people!

What about if the first tank is half empty and the second tank is half full?

Not my personal best, but close. Once I pumped 25.13 gallons

Drove 357 mikes on one tank of 87 octane, I'd say 90% highway under 65mph. Millage is uncorrected for the 285/75R16 tires on my rig.

Great info here, sub'd!

Ahh....now it makes since. That's why everyone wants to install an aux tank.

Hey, this is tech, dammit! Stop having fun!

Yup, I agree in the sub tank option too.

Is there nitrogen enriched gas available there? Has to be lighter by the litre

The best way to get better mileage is to beat the body panels of your cruiser so it has dimples like a golf ball.

Hammers and bats the the SST for this.

And now,,, we get to the quiz: How many tanks of fuel does it take to get to heaven? Bonus points; if it's metric fuel, more or less?

Laughing because I pictured you stuffing cold turkey in the radiator. Too funny

Unladen? English or African?

I am pretty sure Witts End has a product to fix all of these issues.
